I can usually run laps consistently +/- 0.500 seconds with my DFGT wheel. If I'm on my game consistent to +/- 0.200. When I loaded the stock car, purchased directly from dealership (if I haven't used it, oil change shouldn't be necessary right?), I was about 25 seconds behind after lap 1 and 21 seconds behind after lap 2. There was no way I was going to shave off 7 seconds per lap without cutting chicanes.
I know I probably have faster times in me if I came real hot into the chicanes and nailed them perfectly...but it would take hours of practice with that car to shave off 7 seconds. i'd like to see a video of someone doing it before I bothered to try.
